he said he has never been drug tested. Its a big company though, and I bet its client dependent/LOB. If you want a solid IT guy, who is white, you are probably 50-50 if he has smoked pot.

This is why only places where they fab stuff in tech drug test. They couldn't get employees otherwise.

Like I said, I could care less if people smoke pot, I personally think it should be legal, but it's not in most states and most companies look down upon it. If you continue to smoke it and don't get a job because of it then don't whine about it when it happens.

I personally don't know any other accountants who toke it up, or have the time to. Obviously, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

One of my best friends got an internship last summer with them. Said they were really busting the interns balls with the hair tests (saves on firing actual employees) said he got popped pre-hire and almost every other week him or someone in their group got "randomly" selected.

I seriously doubt they would hair test an intern.

I wouldn't be so sure. I don't want my intern high and fricking up my lunch order.

Did you get tested before the internship or once you got there? Hair or piss?


Before. I guess no one failed because I didn't hear another word about it other than when my friend got tested.

Call the hiring manager and ask. It won't look bad and they can't hold it against you.

If you do get tested. Be sure to follow up with them and ask for the results. The initiative will make you stand out and demonstrate your ability to follow up on obligations.

They don't test. You'll be fine.


...Downvote me all you want. I worked there and was not tested about 8 years ago.

Seriously, try not to worry about unless it is honestly about to happen. From what it seems, they have tested some and don't test others. Worrying about it won't help.

You don't have to worry about it at the big 4

Some advice. Enjoy your internship and run to industry after. The time commitment for the big 4 is not worth the pay and career advancement.

You should just find a job that doesn't drug test like the rest of us.

Plus you can still do all the fun stuff since it leaves your system in a few days.

You won't get tested unless they put you on a job for a company that requires their contractors be tested.

Depending on what service line you are going in, the % of test failure at a CPA firm would be proportional to that of the kitchen staff at Applebees.

You're heading down a bad path and should go to rehab ASAP.
